Loved it

Reread. I forgot how the psych analysis, character development , and backstory helped to continually captivate me. That Ethan was the mentally unstable psychopath harassing Dr. Anna Fox is a huge surprise.

Great!

Absolutely in love with this book.

20 minute book that is so funny

This book gripped me from the first chapter. By starting in the past and immediately making your heart ache for the family from the start, I felt invested. Iona is a bit chatty (well done with the writing, her nervous chatter definitely comes through) but the story was well written and the bonds that unite the characters make you long for the same

Good book, kept me engaged throughout

Malala, the 15 year old girl who spoke out against the Taliban’s restrictions against women and education while living in Mingora, Pakistan, was shot in the head. She recovered in England. Given the Nobel Peace Prize, this memoir tells of her life as a college student, her challenges with anxiety, panic attacks and PTSD. The loss of her school in Afghanistan r/t our withdrawal, brings an emotional and political slant on her story.

It was a very good book addition to the hunger games series
